One Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 Sets January 2027 Premiere, JAM Project Returns With New Opening

We already knew One Punch Man was back in the ring, but now the calendar has stopped shadowboxing. The second cour of Season 3 is officially set to premiere in January 2027, and the new reveal arrives with a fresh trailer, a new key visual, and the return of a name fans know well: JAM Project. Like a hero landing after a very loud jump, the announcement does not waste time.

The new opening theme will be titled “Never Done - SUPREME POWER VS ULTIMATE FEAR -”. Yes, it is a title with enough energy to power a small city. Or at least a vending machine in Z-City.

January 2027 Is the New Target

The latest trailer confirms that the next batch of episodes from One Punch Man Season 3 will arrive in January 2027. This continuation covers the second cour, meaning the latter half of the season’s planned run. In anime terms, a cour usually spans about three months, a neat little production block that keeps both studios and viewers on their toes.

The third season itself began airing with a recap episode on October 5, 2025. One week later, the season’s first proper episode aired, which also marked the anime’s 25th overall episode. That number may seem modest for such a major title, but One Punch Man has always moved at its own pace. Saitama, after all, is not exactly known for rushing unless there is supermarket discount meat involved.

JAM Project Steps Back Into the Spotlight

One of the biggest takeaways from the announcement is the return of JAM Project for the new opening theme. The group will perform “Never Done - SUPREME POWER VS ULTIMATE FEAR -”, adding another entry to the franchise’s long-running tradition of muscular, high-voltage opening songs.

That return matters. Openings in action anime are not just decoration. They are the front door, the handshake, the battle cry. And JAM Project has been part of the sonic identity of One Punch Man since the beginning. When they show up, the ceiling usually rattles a bit.

For the first cour of Season 3, the opening theme was “Get No Satisfied!”, performed by JAM Project together with BABYMETAL. The ending theme for that cour was “Soko ni Aru Akari”, performed by Makoto Furukawa. Now the baton returns to JAM Project alone for the next phase.

The Staff Lineup Stays Largely Consistent

On the production side, J.C. Staff continues as the animation studio for Season 3. That keeps the same studio in place from the second season, while Madhouse remains the studio behind the first season from 2015. Fans have debated this shift for years with the seriousness of a Hero Association emergency meeting, but the current team is staying the course.

Shinpei Nagai directs the anime at J.C. Staff. Series composition is again handled by Tomohiro Suzuki, who returns from earlier seasons. Character design also brings back Chikashi Kubota, now joined by Shinjiro Kuroda and Ryōsuke Shirakawa.

Elsewhere in the staff list, Sakura Murakami serves as art director. Mayumi Tanahashi returns as color designer, while Yuki Hirose takes on the role of director of photography. The audio and post-production side also keeps familiar names in place, with Masahiro Gotō as editor, Yoshikazu Iwanami as sound director, and Makoto Miyazaki as music composer.

That kind of continuity matters more than it sometimes gets credit for. In long-running anime, consistency behind the scenes can be the difference between a clean punch and a swing into empty air.

Where the Anime Is Streaming

The current streaming rollout for One Punch Man Season 3 depends on the region, and the platform map is a bit like a JRPG world chart: clear once we unfold it, but not exactly tiny.

Regional Platforms

In the United States, the anime is streaming on Hulu. In Canada, it is available through Disney+. For Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand, the series is streaming on Netflix. In Latin America and Oceania, Crunchyroll also carries the anime.

That broad distribution shows how large the global footprint of the series remains. It has been more than 10 years since the first season debuted, and the title still moves like one of anime’s heavyweight brands. Not bad for a show built around a bald hero who looks permanently mildly inconvenienced.

A Quick Look Back at the Anime Timeline

The anime adaptation of One Punch Man first aired in Japan from October to December 2015. That first season quickly became one of the major anime breakouts of the decade. Then came Season 2, which started with a television special in April 2019, followed by the season’s first regular episode one week later.

Season 3 took a longer road to the screen. Its premiere structure mirrored the second season in one sense, opening with a recap before moving into the main story a week later in October 2025. Now, with the second cour locked for January 2027, the season’s longer rollout has a firm destination.

For viewers who track anime by production blocks, that means the franchise continues to operate in a staggered format. It is not unusual these days. Many modern series split seasons into separate cours, giving studios a bit more room to breathe. In an industry known for tight schedules, that breathing room is worth more than gold. Or at least worth more than one of King’s reaction shots.

What This Means for Fans

The headline here is simple: One Punch Man Season 3 is not slowing down yet. A new trailer, a new visual, a confirmed January 2027 release window, and the return of JAM Project all point to a series still very aware of its identity.

There is also a practical upside. Fans now have a date range to watch, a theme song to anticipate, and confirmation that much of the creative team remains in place. In a season of anime news where release plans can sometimes feel like smoke in the wind, this one lands with a clear thud.

We will be watching closely as more details arrive, especially around episode counts, additional cast updates, and the full version of the new opening. If you follow anime season schedules like they are tournament brackets, this is one title worth keeping near the top of the list.

Stay tuned for more anime updates, because the Hero Association’s calendar has just become a little more crowded.
